PXA Gaming review
A Sydney-hosted option for small ASA groups that want panel-based CurseForge installs.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PXA Gaming hosts dedicated ARK: Survival Ascended servers on hardware in OVH’s Sydney SYD3 datacenter. Its three monthly plans specify limits of up to 6, 10, or 20 players, with 12, 16, or 24 GB of RAM respectively. A web dashboard includes a file manager and console output, and players can select an ASA map during provisioning. The setup is aimed at small groups, particularly those who want to install CurseForge mods through the server panel; that feature is listed for Clan. Groups needing another server location or a larger player limit should look elsewhere.
The plans add capacity and options by tier. Squad supports up to 6 players and includes ticket-based support. Crew raises the limit to 10 players and adds backups on request. Clan supports up to 20 players, includes backups on request, and adds CurseForge mod support. The listed starting price is AUD 24.99 per month for six slots. The provider says plans can be cancelled at any time, and its refund period is 7 days. Backups are not described as automatic or scheduled, so groups that need routine backup timing should clarify that before choosing.
Map selection, a panel with file access and console output, and multi-map cluster setup on request give groups some control over their server arrangement. Support is ticket-based, with a contact form also available. The service runs on the web and is cloud deployed. Its Sydney-only hardware makes it a more natural fit for groups comfortable with that location than for players seeking a choice of regions. Choose PXA Gaming for a small ASA group prioritizing CurseForge on Clan or a requested cluster setup; skip it if location flexibility is a requirement.
